OK I have a question, my one plus is rooted I already have TWRP on the phone with back ups with other ROMs. I checked out the pacmam ROM to give it a try with marshmallow so I've wipe cache factory wipe them installed pacman ROM then the gapps that came with it. Everything worked fine but now I really don't like it so I turned of the phone to go to TWRP to restore Bliss pop as backup, but instead it went to a android backup from pacman there is no way to install or restore which is weird. How do I go to my TWRP recovery to restore Bliss pop. Help thanx

well if you really did nandroid backup the blisspop ROM then search for the blisspop ROM and flash (restore it ) after wiping the device( you have to do this because bliss runs 5.1.x and you were on 6.0 so dont forget to wipe and then restore your backup if you really did take one.
To restore the nandroid backup with MM as the installed rom. First you need to downgrade to LP to do this do a clean install of Blisspop not from the backup from the blisspop original zip file then restore the backup.

I downloaded Trickdroid and everything is good. before I did the download I backed up stock in TWRP.
When trying to restore stock it says 'completed' in about two seconds and when I then reboot I'm still on Trickdroid.
Was I meant to do a nandroid in cwm? Can't think why TWRP wouldn't just restore.
Obviously I still have the stock image on my sd card in the recovery folder of TWRP, so would there be any other way of flashing/installing it whilst bypassing TWRP if I have to?
I faced a similar problem and I freaked out. I installed MIUI to test it and then after I tried to restore my Trickdroid nandroid. Every time I boot the phone after restoring, it kept asking if I want to use the miui launcher and then an error appeared saying your phone has stopped and nothing works.
I did wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik) but the same thing happened over and over. It also refused to install any new ROM. I thought I had a brick. Then after a couple of reboots to recovery, I could install a fresh trickdroid and then on top of it I could restore my nandroid.
Now I am weary of installing anything new. I have a CWM nandroid as well just in case.

I included a script which does not allow you to switch from Trickdroid to another ROM as it's the best anyway
Just kidding, try to reflash your Recovery or so
Just had an idea, would it make a difference if I flashed the new boot.img before wiping the current ROM? meaning, before restoring trickdroid, I flashed the kernel of trickdroid.
Because yesterday I had the same experience again this time with CM9 and I had to make a fresh install

Don't worry, I'm sticking with trickdroid, just wanted the peace of mind of knowing I could go back to stock anytime.
Now I can't, I'm stuck with you
Hey guys, I'm thinking about flashing cm10, now that basically everything is working, but I was wondering , if I make a backup of my current stock rooted Rom, then flash cm10, and decide to come back, can I just go into recovery and wipe everything and then click restore and be fine? I ask because I'm not sure if I can do just that considering the whole software version change. Thanks in advance guys!

This should be fine. Just make sure that you installed the latest K-Exec recovery via the dd method. There have been some problems with EX Recovery app. Also some older recoveries had problems with making and restoring back-ups.
Yes
Stay on your stock rooted rom, boot to recovery, and create a nandroid (backup). After you create a nandroid, go ahead and wipe all data/cache/davlik and proceed with the installation of the new rom/gapps
If you dont like the new rom, go back into recovery, wipe everything again then go to restore and restore from the nandroid you mad
Okay thanks guys !

Hi Folks, I hope this is posted in the right forum and sorry if I've missed seeing something similar already here.
I have a rooted Verizon GSIII on which I have been flashing custom ROMs and restoring nandroid backups without any problems for a while now (most recently I've been on Paranoid Android). Today I decided to try out Carbon ROM. I generated a nandroid backup using TWRP, then downloaded the ROM (the most recent nightly) and Gapps zip files using GooManager and flashed these after doing a factory reset. After rebooting the phone it seemed to start up OK... but it got as far as trying to find the network, which it unable to do. After selecting the skip option I then tried to sign in to my WiFi, but the keyboard didn't show up for me to type in the password. So I figured I'd cut my losses and just reboot into recovery and restore my PA backup. I was able to reboot into recovery and restore the backup but the PA backup pretty much did the same thing the carbon ROM did... just looped trying to find the network.
So... I'm not sure what went wrong or what to do next. Any suggestions???
I am able to boot the phone into recovery, but I'm afraid to start messing around too much without help as I'm no expert!
I do have the most recent nandroid backup and several earlier ones that did restore OK on my computer. Is there a way to flash any of these to the phone or to go back to stock?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Wipe catche dalvik factory reset then flash fresh batch of rom and gaaps if that works well getting tru start up then flash ur backup thats what i did.. If that dnt work then u gotta go tru odin back to stock
hi all this is my first thread, i recently installed that rom but i can't use my sim card and i haven't got the imei.
I tried everything i could do like, copying efs and modemefs folder from stock rom and then replace them to vanir... i tried efs professional but didnt work ( i did backup on stock, after installed vanir but in restore i wasn't seeing anything to restore) tried to flash first the cwm 6.0.4.6 and then the recomended recovery, installed stock, wiped data , cache and dalvik and installed vanir, but nothing... could you help me cause i love that rom and i don't wanna go back to the stock one
I've installed one ROM, tried it and everything works fine. Than made a backup with custom recovery.
After that I flashed the other ROM, xposed it, tried it and everything works fine.
Now, I want to restore the first one, try and compare with second, and maybe after that I will want to restore the second one, or so.... maybe try each one for few times.
What do I need to wipe when I'm changing those ROMs? Dalvick/ cashe, or do I need to make factory reset every time? And what about Xposed, do I need to disable or uninstall it before flashing/restoring the other ROM?
Thank you for your answers.
P.S. Both ROMs are customized, prerooted LP 5.1.1, with dual recovery
if you are using a recovery such as twrp and done a full backup then you wouldn't need to wipe anything as the system/data would be written with what was backed up at the time
